family dynamic - the family room

http://www.hfdarchitects.com

The family room receives light from three sides and is open to the kitchen. To keep the space less encumbered by furniture and more open we created a niche for the television and A/V equipment.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Micro Additions: When You Just Want a Little More Room

A small, cantilevered micro-addition can house an entertainment center, such as this one inside a 30-inch by 11-foot bump-out. The room feels much larger and functions much better with all the electronics, speakers, television and cabinetry out of the way.
